Peter Pan's Flight

Peter Pan's Flight is a charming and nostalgic dark ride located in the heart of Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom. This beloved attraction allows guests to board a whimsical flying ship that gently soars over the enchanting world of Neverland, recreating iconic moments from the classic Disney film, Peter Pan. The highlight of the ride is the unique overhead track system, giving riders the sensation of floating high above miniature scenes depicting London, Skull Rock, and Captain Hook's ship. The experience captures the magic of flight, offering a gentle and visually appealing journey that delights fans of all ages. However, Peter Pan's Flight consistently draws some of the longest wait times in the park, often surpassing an hour or more. For those choosing the standby queue, be prepared for an extended wait. While the queue has been recently upgraded with interactive elements to keep guests entertained, the wait can still feel lengthy compared to the relatively short ride duration. One drawback is the occasional stopping throughout the ride, which can interrupt the flow and pull you out of the immersive experience. Ultimately, Peter Pan's Flight is a classic attraction that holds sentimental value for many Disney fans, but if you're prioritizing time, other rides in the park offer more dynamic experiences and shorter waits.

Fairly short and forgettable honestly. The style of the ride through is unique to provide the illusion of flying with some interesting things throughout. However, at the end of my day, I find myself not remembering a whole lot from the ride.

Estimated wait time was 60 minutes. While we were in line the estimate changed to 75 minutes. No problem! It happens... Or does it? Two hours later we were still in line. Disney is operating the ride extremely inefficiently. The stand by lane frequently comes to a full stop even though the ride keeps going. Lightning lane people are being given significant preference while everyone else waits, and waits, and waits, and waits. No ride I've been on in Disney World was soooo far off in their estimated wait time. Lightning Lane destroyed the entire experience. The ride itself was forgetable. When you see the large lines, please don't think "Oh wow, this ride is super popular! It must be awesome!" Instead, think "Oh wow, they are doing a poor job operating this extremely forgettable and boring ride in an efficient manner. I should skip it."

When you see the line, you're probably asking yourself one big question. Why is this ride so popular? Well, it actually isn't. It's just operated less efficiently than other rides. It's slower, and the seating capacity per pirate galleon is very limited. They can't speed it up because it would make the ride way too shorter than it already is. But hey, it has been updated since the last time I was there. Waiting in line doesn't seem as bad now that there's an indoor queue. It's cool to see the Darling's home as you're walking through the hallways looking at family portraits. The wait for us was 35 minutes, since we took advantage of early entry to the park. The ride opens at 8:30 am. Just about everyone that was waiting for the rope drop on the bridge near Cinderella Castle seemed to be headed that way. It was a 45-60 minute wait after we finished the ride. If you feel that this is too long, then I recommend getting a Genie+ Lightning Lane. Many people actually do that. It's worth it. The ride is nostalgic, and fun! You're flying over Big Ben, and you're in Neverland before you know it. This ride never gets old in my eyes. I feel the same way I did when I was kid riding it for the first time. I'll never pass this one up.
